Movie Review : 12 Rounds

April 2nd, 2009 by kamkuey

It’s quite an entertaining movie. From the start till the end, it’s action non-stop. The story and plot is also quite refreshing, although stories of similar plots have been done many times over. But it’s still an OK movie. It would have been a fantastic movie if:

1) Different cast

2) Different shooting technique

Firstly, it would have been great if they casted Jason Statham or even Nic Cage to be Danny Fischer. Cena was a little too big to fit the role. At times his movements were ackward. Some probably would not notice but, if you pay a little attention to his hands while he’s holding his mobile phone, you can see that he is way too big. But this is still OK. Cena scrapped through as Danny Fischer.

The worse was how the movie was shot. My goodness. My 1 year old niece can hold a camera steadier. OK. It’s ok if during the action scenes that you bob the camera up and down, side to side with the action. But, do they REALLY have to bob it up and down, side to side while they were standing still and talking? Let me show you an example of how the ENTIRE movie was shot.

The movie is still very nice, with all the action and stuff. I could still take it. But any of you out there who has trouble playing first person shooter, please do give this movie a miss if you to keep your lunch/dinner in your stomach.
